the windows are not drawn correctly. maybe it is not redrawing itself. only when i hover over the command buttons they become visible. while scrolling through texts it does not display the text correctly. on the menus only when
I hover over the items they become visible. this problem was present also while installing. I am using Redhat Linux Fedora Core 3.

Hi

May be its resolution problem...Try to change MODES settings in
/etc/X11/XF86Config file

Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"" alt="" class="bbc_img" />

Change ur Modes from

Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480

to

Modes "800X600", Try to change it...........and let us know.

{ i.e lower resolution }
